Brenda Lowe Obituary
Knoxville - LOWE, BRENDA CAROL VANDIVER - was called by God to her heavenly home on May 6, 2020 at age 78. She passed due to complications of pneumonia. Although she will be sorely missed, we know she is in a better place, as the Bible says in Philippians 1:23: "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better." Brenda Vandiver Lowe was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on August 26, 1941, the daughter of the late Albert Clayton Vandiver, Sr. and Vivian Mae Morgan. Mrs. Lowe grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and attended Andrew Jackson High School. One highlight of her time in school was playing oboe at Carnegie Hall. She went on to graduate from nursing school from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and became a licensed practical nurse. Mrs. Lowe lived out her life with a sense of loyalty, fun, and spontaneity. She was characterized by her love of and devotion to her family as well as her quick wit, love for fun, and sense of humor. Brenda was preceded in death by her ex-husband Ted H. Lowe, Sr. and her son, Ted H. Lowe, Jr. Brenda is survived by her three daughters, Lisa L. Lowe of Knoxville, Mary Lowe Graham (Dr. Brett) of Indiana, Angela Dyan Lowe of Knoxville, and daughter-in-law Cathy G. Lowe of Bethpage; grandchildren Melissa Mault (Denis) and Justin Lowe of Knoxville and Lana Lowe of Bethpage; great grandchildren Autumn Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Jayda Mault; brother Albert Clayton Vandiver, Jr.; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Brenda will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Revelation 21:4 says, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more. There will be no mourning, crying, or pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." There will be a graveside service at 2:00 p.m. on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 10, 2020 at Edgewood Cemetery, 229 S. Gallaher View Rd., Knoxville, TN 37919. Flowers may be sent to Rose Mortuary Mann Heritage Chapel, 6200 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. Online condolences may be extended at www.rosemortuary.com

I've known and loved Brenda for almost 30 years. She was such a sweet, loving soul. Every time I talked to her or spent time with her, I felt uplifted. Only two of my friends traveled to Texas for my wedding six years ago and she was one of them. I'm so sad that I will never get to hear her voice again. Rest In Peace, dearest soul.

Every time Brenda came down to Jax, Aunt Vivian would call me to let me know so I could come over and visit with them. Lots of good memories and talks over the years. I know she was heartbroken over the loss of Ted Jr. and now she is reunited with him again. Rest in Peace, now you can sleep, no more worries or stress.
